Even if physically a girl doesn't enter puberty until she is sixteen, by law she would be considered an adult. Okay so all this arguing that people have done over the use of the word pedophile is because we're talking about a (hypothetical) 14 year old, which would be a year older than the age at which someone is considered matured, or pubescent. Fair enough. Thanks. On October 13 2012 10:28 arnster wrote: Quick question unrelated to pedophilia: Does this mean he won't be in NASL anymore or will he still be able to play those matches? How dare you not speak about pedophilia! AFAIK he won't be playing the NASL matches, no. | ||

First sir, the first amendment doesn't give you the right to say anything you want. EG's suspension has more to do with public image than his rights. You don't see Lebron James, or Payton Manning talking about statutory rape. EG is protecting its image. | ||

Hell, yes, B can be offended even if you didn't mean to piss on him. You are talking about a physical act not words. Words (in general) can not harm anyone. I have the right to do and say anything I wish unless what I do or say infringes on someone else's right to do the same. Pissing on someone's shoes would physically damage their shoes, saying i was going to piss on them would do nothing. Being offended about something said to someone else is far more rude than expressing yourself in anger. Calling you a bitch once is completely acceptable. Calling you it 20 times a day, every day is not, it is abuse. There is a huge difference. Seriously, you can PM me can call me every name under the sun, I will not get offended because they are just words and besides I can swear in 5 different languages, I'm pretty sure I have been called it all before ;p | ||

Yea, it can be used as a funny joke when you are chatting with friends when you aren't popular or famous. The moment you are and you represent something (in Stephano's case EG) you better watch where you say what. It's simple how it goes. You don't hear movie stars kidding around "well yea, yesterday i raped this schoolgirl i picked up". Oh and for the people that try to compare it to dark comedy, please don't. its so completely different its not even funny. | ||

We don't know what the details are so we cannot really say. IMO, it's not a big deal. At all. 14yo have sex all the time. I know from living in NA that everything that could possibly considered a sexual action is considered rape and everything that isn't perfectly politically correct is a hate crime. It's not. I made a comment about the Law and that's how it interprets sex with a 14 year old in Canada; rape with 15(?) years prison sentence, permanent registration in the sex criminal database. | ||

Try to say the N word in front a of a couple black people then and say after that you were joking. No matter the topic eh.. Free speech doesn't mean you can flap what you want. If you say "suck my dick" to a cop you can bet your ass he will take you away no matter your free speech nonsense. | ||

I hate the way this community takes up torches and pitchforks on anyone who says something that isn't perfectly politically correct. These kind of things can be taken lightly in a private 1on1 situation, its a different story when public. Person jokes about raping a child to a friend at his house Person jokes about raping a child to the friend in public where everyone hears him, now lets say the police overheard him or someone that shouldn't now has Results will vary, but mostly negative. Use your common sense... unless its sorely lacking. Its like if you joked about killing someone. Get it? | ||
